Jim asked:


Would like to hook up computer to printer wireless but neither has bluetooth. If one was bluetooth the other I believe would work with a dongle. What would I use to create a bluetooth wireless connection for both of these devices to connect?

    Wireless and bluetooth are two completely different terms. Yes, they can connect wirelessly without bluetooth, but they both muct be connected to a wireless transmitter and reciever.

    To create a bluetooth connection, u can get a Bluetooth USB device that emits a signal and can connect.

    Or you could set up an old laptop as a wireless print server…
